    The list below describes such skeletal movements as normally are possible in particular joints of the human body. Other animals have different degrees of movement at their respective joints; this is because of differences in positions of muscles and because structures peculiar to the bodies of humans and other species block motions unsuited to ...

    Shivering — shaking of the body in response to early hypothermia in warm-blooded animals. Sneeze or sternutation — a convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs normally triggered by irritation of the nasal mucosa in the nose. Startle-evoked movement — involuntary initiation of a planned movement in response to a startling stimulus ...

    Inversion and eversion are movements that tilt the sole of the foot away from (eversion) or towards (inversion) the midline of the body. [35] Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane. [36] Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle ...

    The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. The human musculoskeletal system is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, [1] tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together.

  7. Gross motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_motor_skill

    These gross movements come from large muscle groups and whole body movement. These skills develop in a head-to-toe order. The children will typically learn head control, trunk stability, and then standing up and walking. It is shown that children exposed to outdoor play time activities will develop better gross motor skills.

    Deep learning and computer vision techniques are then employed to learn the location of the body parts in the training data. Next, the trained model is used to predict the location of the body parts in each frame on newly collected videos. The resulting time series data consists of the positions of the visible body parts at each frame in the video.
